Hi - 
I am wondering how to animate using blit and patches. 
The code below was modified from one of the examples.
You will see that it shows (and moves) the rectangle just fine, but 
the circle never shows up.
best,
Jaron



import gtk, gobject
import matplotlib
matplotlib.use('GTKAgg') #Agg rendering to a GTK canvas (requires PyGTK)
import numpy as np
import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
from pylab import *
from matplotlib.patches import CirclePolygon

fig = plt.figure(figsize=(14,10))
ax = fig.add_subplot(111, autoscale_on=False )
canvas = fig.canvas

x_start = array([1.0, 2, 2, 1, 1])
y_start = array([1.0, 1, 2, 2, 1])

plt.axis([-1, 7, -0.5, 2.2])

def update_line():
    global x, y
    print update_line.cnt
    if update_line.background is None:
        update_line.background = canvas.copy_from_bbox(ax.bbox)
    canvas.restore_region(update_line.background)
    
    x = x_start + 0.012 * update_line.cnt 
    y = y_start + 0.0001 * update_line.cnt 
    line, = ax.plot(x, y, animated=True, lw=2)
    ax.draw_artist(line)
    
    x_cir = 1.0 + 0.001*update_line.cnt 
    cir =  CirclePolygon((x_cir, 1), 0.3, animated=True,  resolution=6, lw=2
)
    ax.draw_artist(cir)

    canvas.blit(ax.bbox)

    if update_line.cnt == 10000:
        gtk.mainquit()
        raise SystemExit
    update_line.cnt += 1
    return True

update_line.cnt = 0
update_line.background = None

def start_anim(event):
    gobject.idle_add(update_line)
    canvas.mpl_disconnect(start_anim.cid)

start_anim.cid = canvas.mpl_connect('draw_event', start_anim)

plt.show()
